Registration

Event is limited to the first 150 registered runners. Race day registration may be available if participant limit has not yet been met. Check-in and packet pick-up starts at 6:30P at the pavilion in LMA park. Check-in is mandatory.

The route has been established and is a bit longer than initially noted and has been posted to Facebook. It will be approx 2.9 miles (not 2.5 as initially stated) with about 3/4 mile of field trails and the remainder being single-track dirt trails in the wooded area. A GOOD head-lamp and/or flashlight is required. Your safety is our utmost concern. The trail flows very nicely and is slightly technical with roots being the primary feature. There are bridges and a few logs to maneuver. No bears, cougars or sharks have been seen in the woods - recently. However, there is a local Yeti that does frequent the park when hunting. You might consider some BigFoot repellent or carrying a small pack of Jack Link beef jerky (I'm just saying!)

The first 100 registered participants for the Full Moon Trail Run will receive a LMA Full Moon Trail Run re-usable shopping bag with the cool new event logo.

The event is FREE but a donation of $20 or more is suggested for run.

Donations to Lewis Memorial Acres can be made on-line, accepted at registration or can be mailed to:

Event Details

This is an off-road 'fun' event - run in the dark.

Lewis Memorial Acres (LMA) was a generous gift donated by Irene Lewis in 1984. In her will, she wished to provide the land to create a Christian park for the community. The forty acres represent a beautiful prairie and wooded setting for recreation, relaxation, and reflection. The park is governed by a non-profit board that meets regularly to oversee the growth and development of the park.

This event is to promote LMA while offering the community a unique and fun event with a night trail run in this hidden gem on Springfield's west central side.
